RIHANNA EXPLAINS WHY BRAIDING HER SONS HAIR IS ‘A FORM OF PROTECTION’

In a recent interview with Vogue China, Rihanna got candid about the significance of braiding her sons Rza and Riot’s hair. For the Grammy-winning icon, braiding is more than just a stylistic choice; it’s a powerful way of honoring the traditions passed down by her ancestors. Growing up in Barbados, Rihanna experienced firsthand the communal bond fostered by braiding. She recalls it as a gesture of love and care within her community, a sentiment she now carries with her as a mother.

Some people grow up in single-parent families, with moms working three jobs, and they don’t have time to kiss you every day when you go to school,” she said She continued, “This is a form of protection, our roots, and a tradition left by our ancestors. At the end of the day, it’s still beautiful, and I love it. From an aesthetic standpoint, there are so many things you can do with braids and so many looks you can achieve.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by SAVAGE X FENTY BY RIHANNA (@savagexfenty) Rihanna,...
